Sewing Anniversary time! Yay!!!! I've been sewing for 2 years as of January 24th and blogging for 2 years as of February 1st.
Last year I talked about how I started sewing (now in an "about me" link above), 'tips from a newbie', and what my goals were for year 2. Well I already talked about goals for year 3 here (and meeting year 2 goals) sooooo...we can skip past all that and get to some good stuff...
GIVEAWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With a theme of "my favorite things", I have 3 prizes to share with my sewing friends! I ask (not demand, and I will not check - lazy) that you be an actual reader of my blog. I totally get that people read/follow and don't necessarily comment - that's okay - but I would feel warm and fuzzy on the inside if you were a follower and not just here for the prizes.
Now, we sewers can have short memories so I'll tell ya, I'm totally kicking it 'new school' with pattern giveaways. :)
**************************************************
I contacted Alexandra of In House patterns to ask about gift certificates. She doesn't have that as an option right now, and my next idea was to purchase a copy of the Kimono tee as a giveaway. Well she was gracious enough to offer up one free pattern of your choosing! YAY!!!!!
Visit the shop here and take a look at the offerings.
- Patterns are (typically?) sized 0-16 or XS-XL (size chart here).
- The Cool Cowl, Belle Blouse and Kimono Tee are drafted for D cups (YAY US!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
- The Blossom and Diana for A, B, C or D and the Jenny tee for A/B and C/D.
- There are also a skirt, cropped pants and shorts.
Prize(pack) B
You all know I'm by and large a Big 4 sewer and my latest faves are:
Vogue 9032; which I'm sure you're tired of me waxing poetic about :-p
This pattern comes in sizes 6-14 and 14-22
McCall's 6996: sure I've only made one but there WILL be more (I'm going to use my wool jersey for this pattern!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
This pattern comes in sizes XS-M and L-XXL
McCall's 7093: Choosing the third pattern was more difficult and again, it was only made once but it's a GREAT pattern and has so many options!!!
This pattern comes in sizes 6-14 and 14-22
I was going to run out and buy these but realized I would have to choose a size band. I would rather pick a winner and let them tell me what size they need. So that's what we'll do there.
Prize C
Last but certainly not least; you gotta know that fabric is one of my absolute favorite things of all the things!
The winner of prize C will get a $15 (electronic) gift certificate to Fabric Mart!

I will leave it open to all as the only thing I'll need to ship are the 3 patterns.
A sincere thank you everyone who reads, encourages, offer suggestions (THANK YOU!) here on my blog and just plain makes the sewing world a fun place to be. I am looking forward to my 3rd(!!) year of sewing blog craziness!
